Edgard Varse - Pome lectronique

Poème électronique, for tape (1957-1958) Transfer from the original master by Konrad Boehmer and Kees Tazelaar, Institute of Sonology, Royal Conservatory, The Hague, The Netherlands (c) 1998. Poème électronique, part of a multi-media presentation created for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair, was one of the earliest compositions fully realized through electronics. Even though many of its sounds are easily modulated today, the work’s dramatic conception has helped it to retain its vitality through the years.
